Joomla login working with phpRunner

Have you tried to work with wrapper-login for Joomla? You can use this component to connect to you're PHPRunner application without login again.
Just create a login page in PHPRunner connection to the jos_......users table using unique fields like the username en de id field (I still have problems with this configuration using the password field ....), and change the wrapper-login.php password value into id ...
--

switch ($params->get( 'user_src' )) {

case "mambo":

$login = $my->username;

$query = "SELECT id FROM #__users WHERE id = ". $my->id;

$database->setQuery( $query );

$pass = $database->loadResult();

break;

Create a new component in Joomla thats points to the login.php page from you're PHPRunner application and use the Login en Password Form fields as in the login.php from PHPRunner, username and password, Identifier = Mambo. To ensure direct login add the following line into the Other fields field:
<input name="btnSubmit" value="Login" type="hidden">

... (I still have problems with this configuration using the password field ....

Thanks Wim.. I git it working, but your way is much better.. On the Password, I had the same issue, but you know, I just used the username as the password since it's not a big deal with the info I have in the database and it worked great.

Hi! Wim... trying to get phprunner to run under Joomla one time login. Please help clarify the portion where you said,
"Create a new component in Joomla thats points to the login.php page from you're PHPRunner application and use the Login en Password Form fields as in the login.php from PHPRunner, username and password, Identifier = Mambo. To ensure direct login add the following line into the Other fields field:
<input name="btnSubmit" value="Login" type="hidden">"
I'm not sure what component you were referring to? Where is the Other fields? If possible, please give a breakdown of the steps you used to integrate Joomla with PHPrunner.
THanks a lot for your help!

Joomla uses a MD5 encryption of its passwords. So whenever I needed to read its password from another application I add MD5 to the variable name.
Hope this helps.

I am also wondering what the steps to get this accomplished are....
wim or Aaron Chan or anyone, did you get it solved?
Can you please be so kind to provide the steps so we can all benefit from your great discovery?
All we are all missing are the last steps on the quote above <img src='https://asprunner.com/forums/file.php?topicimage=1&fieldname=reply&id=23782&image=6&table=forumreplies' class='bbc_emoticon' alt=':rolleyes:' /> <img src='https://asprunner.com/forums/file.php?topicimage=1&fieldname=reply&id=23782&image=7&table=forumreplies' class='bbc_emoticon' alt=':rolleyes:' />
Thank you so much!!!

Me too...I do a lot of Joomla sites, but have not created components or otherwise worked behind the Admin GUI in the code. It would be great to have easy, clear instructions, because building on the Joomla logins simplifies things...
Thanks!

Me too ... I got over a dozen Joomla sites each with 2 to 4 phpRunner applications. The best I have managed to do is get users to check Remember Password. This usually saves them some work.
I don't have the time or expertise to spend days trying to figure out how to get it to work. I'm at a point where I would be willing to PAY someone to come with a solution. Anyone interested?

Hey!
I have Joomla 1.0.13, and am using PHPR 4.1, Build 312.
I just set up security on my application and set the jos_users as the table, and username and password as the fields.
There is some issue with the MD5 or the new Joomla encryption scheme, but here is a workaround that works for me until someone comes up with something better:
Enable Lost Password recovery in Security, as well as Change Password.
Tell your users to use Lost Password to get their "replacement" password, then use Change Password to change it back.
After changing it "back", I was able to login to Joomla through the Login module, which is Community Builder in my case, but that shouldn't matter.
Like I said, at least it works....
Ken

Hey!

Update...Duh, sorry...in that scheme, when you go back to the PHPR application, the login then fails, because once Joomla gets a crack at the standard MD5 password, it "salts" it somehow.
I have had a coder do a workaround for me, and am deciding whether/how to release it.
Ken

Is there a login script working with Joomla 1.5 version that is out now?

It encrypts passwords using salt.

Like Indigo I'm hoping some wizard will come up with a script or something to enable users who login to a Joomla 1.5 site to access PHPRunner screens without a further login step. Joomla 1.5 encrypts it passwords using a 'one way MD5 hash'.
